When Shen Xuan received the letter, he also struggled in his heart, and even the people who had just recruited him tried to dissuade him, but the person who sent the letter was a close friend of Shen Xi and King Rui, and the letter was indeed written by King Rui and Princess Rui. So Shen Xuan decided to go back with others, and temporarily handed over the matter here to Shen Xi.
Looking at Shen Xuan, Shen Xi felt very complicated. He was called down from the battlefield. At that time, he had just led troops to clean up a barbarian tribe of more than 500 people, and his body was still covered with blood and wounds. Like Shen Xi, he was also full of pride, and felt that his time in Beijing was a waste of time, but he was called back to deal with the mess made by his brother. If it wasn't for Shen Xuan being his own brother, Shen Xi would not be willing. Coming this trip, even though he thought so, he didn't show it on his face. After all, Shen Xi had grown up too.
Because the person who took over was his own younger brother, Shen Xuan was relieved a lot. When only their brothers were left at night, Shen Xuan pulled Shen Xi to explain many things, and Shen Xi was covered in cold sweat. His face was also ugly. Thanks to the early discovery, Chu Xiuyuan and the others were nostalgic, so they told their mother in advance and let him come over. Thinking of what his mother said before they left, Shen Xi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Brother, Do you really think father can take that position?"
"Why not?" Shen Xuan said in a low voice, "Apart from father, who else is qualified?"
Shen Xi asked, "Brother, do you think brother-in-law will help us?"
"Could it be that he still wants to rebel?" Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "This world belongs to my Shen family, and it's justifiable for my Shen family to sit."
Shen Xi frowned, and didn't say what he wanted to persuade, but he wrote a letter at night and asked the guards to secretly hand it over to his mother. After Shen Xuan packed his things and handed over the power in his hand to Shen Xi, he followed The people left, and just after Shen Xuan left, Shen Xi directly took the military advisers around Shen Xuan and the people who had taken refuge with the Prince of England, and beat those who lured Shen Xuan to do such things one by one in front of everyone. They were dead, and even the list provided by Xi Yunjing, none of them were left behind.
And it was only later that I found out that Shen Xuan actually built a house outside and raised an outer room. Shen Xi is also a ruthless person. When fighting with the barbarians, in order to kill the grass, they usually do not keep prisoners, just like the barbarians. As long as any part of Tianqi is breached, it is like massacring a city. Shen Xi directly asked the doctor to feel the pulse of the women in the outer room and Shen Xuan's care, and found two pregnant women. Shen Xi didn't let anyone Inform Shen Xuan, according to Princess Rui's wishes, after filling all the abortion pills, let the doctor take care of them carefully, and those who have no problems are given money and let go, and the spies inserted by others are all shot. .
Shen Xi's method was clean and quick. Although it was a bit bloody, it also cleaned up all the troubles left by Shen Xuan. In fact, Shen Xi hated these people to the core. His brother is not bad, but he just has no ideas and lacks After some experience, after being in Minzhong, he is the biggest here in Minzhong, and he is also the son of King Rui. Everyone supports him and follows him, and gradually raises his heart. Those remnants of Prince Wang kept bewitching Shen Xuan for his own petty thoughts, and Shen Xuan felt in his heart that he was qualified to fight for that position. Shen Xuan was not a bad person, but he just didn't see himself and the situation clearly.
Moreover, Shen Xi knew his mother's means, and thought that it would be no problem to hand over Shen Xuan to his mother, so after dealing with these matters, Shen Xi really threw all the rights to Xi Yunjing, and he went to the military camp to train soldiers. Naturally, the barracks were managed by people arranged by Chu Xiuming. After entering, Shen Xi didn't mean to fight for power, but to train with them, and then took the initiative to ask for orders to take people to make trouble for the remnants of the Prince of England.
Without Shen Xuan who was holding back, Xi Yunjing was more comfortable, and even let Shen Xi point the finger at Cheng Engong's mansion, and brought up the death of the former emperor and the former prince, so the atmosphere in the capital became more tense, especially the empress. And the people of Cheng'en Gongfu.
Years have passed, but the street is still not lively. Everyone has to mourn for Emperor Cheng's death for a year. This place is close to the capital, so pay extra attention, so there are no bright colors on the street. Places like that don’t dare to open the door openly anymore, not to mention others, even Shen Jin’s clothes are mostly plain. Shen Jin is now more than seven months pregnant, but she looks like she is about to give birth. When I went for a walk in the yard, An Yi and An Ning had to support her and pay extra attention, but Shen Jin broke out in sweat after walking a few steps, and was very tired. Aunt Qian didn't rush her, but instead asked Shen Jin to sit down. Rest, wait until you have enough rest and then get up and walk around.
Shen Jin's life is very leisurely. She is not a person who likes to wear gold and silver. She wears a wooden bracelet given by Chu Xiuming on her wrist, and a wooden hairpin in her hair. , although it doesn’t mean that every meal is full of big fish and meat, but these are indispensable, but now it’s a bit difficult to buy in the town, and Jiayi and Jiasi take turns to buy them in distant villages. Pork and the like are all No more, I bought mostly chicken, duck and fish, and I bought some loaches a few days ago. Although these things are ugly, they are the most nourishing. Aunt Qian and the others made them in the kitchen, and they didn't tell Shen at all. Whatever Jin was, he coaxed Shen Jin to eat it.
In fact, Aunt Qian's worries are a little unnecessary. I have eaten such things as loach in the border towns. When I went to the exchange market, there were more strange things.
After knowing that Chu Xiuming would accompany her to give birth, although Shen Jin still worried about the child, she felt much more relaxed. Aunt Qian and the others always thought that the day of mobilization would be brought forward. They estimated that it would be eight or nine months old. Yes, it will be born, but who knows that the two children in the belly are slow, and they are not in a hurry.
Chu Xiuming came back the day before the Huachao Festival, because Shen Zhi, his opponent, helped him more smoothly than Chu Xiuming expected. After he arranged everything, he sent a letter to Chu Xiuyuan, and then Come to accompany Shen Jin.
With Chu Xiuming around, Shen Jin's smile became much brighter, An Yi and An Ning also relaxed a lot, Shen Jin's affairs were arranged by Chu Xiuming, leaning in Chu Xiuming's arms, Shen Jin tugged at his chest. Beard, Chu Xiuming felt that the haze and exhaustion in the capital disappeared completely when he was with his wife. Chu Xiuming lowered his head and rubbed Shen Jin's white and tender face with his beard, which made Shen Jin curl up holding his stomach Chu Xiuming kept laughing while hiding his neck. Chu Xiuming also had a sense of proportion and didn't make too much trouble. He took a cup and fed Shen Jin a few sips of jujube tea and asked, "But what do you want to ask?"
"There's nothing I want to ask." Shen Jin wiggled her toes, and when she leaned against her belly, she couldn't see her feet.
Chu Xiuming said, "There is no need to worry."
"When are you going back to the border town?" Shen Jin asked suddenly.
Chu Xiuming's eyes flickered, and he said with a bit of guilt, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish confinement with you."
Shen Jin bit her lip. She is not the kind of person who makes trouble without reason. Chu Xiuming has already sent Yue Wen back. Even if Chu Xiuming doesn't talk about the current situation, Shen Jin knows the tension. Chu Xiuming can stay with her to live with her. After the child, she is already satisfied.
Chu Xiuming wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a knock on the door. He helped Shen Jin to sit up and went to open the door. Outside were An Yi with a basin and An Ning with a copper pot. An Ning said respectfully, " General, someone is looking for you in the study."
"En." Chu Xiuming responded, and asked An Yi and An Ning to bring the things in, and said, "An Yi can go prepare some food and send it over. I'll be there in a while."
"Yes." An Yi didn't ask any further questions, she bowed and retreated.
An Ning wanted to serve Shen Jin and burn her feet with wormwood, but was stopped by Chu Xiuming, "Go out first, and come in later to accompany Madam."
"Yes." Since Chu Xiuming came, it was Chu Xiuming who helped Shen Jin burn his feet, and An Ning went outside to guard.
Shen Jin said, "Just let An Ning come, isn't someone looking for you?"
Chu Xiuming rolled up his sleeves, sat on the small round pier, and mixed the water. Inside the copper pot was the prepared wormwood decoction. After feeling a little hot, Chu Xiuming took off Shen Jin's shoes and socks with his own hands, and let him She put her feet in the water. The water was a little hot, but it was not unbearable. Shen Jin moved her toes and looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming bent down to wash Shen Jin's feet and said, "It's okay, it should be Zhao Xiuming It's here, you go to bed first, and I'll be back after discussing with him."
"En." Shen Jin's feet are actually very good-looking, white and delicate, a little chubby, and comfortable to touch, but now they don't look very beautiful because they are swollen. Chu Xiuming didn't dislike it at all, and poured some hot water from time to time After going in, soaking for the time that Doctor Qian said, she put her feet on her lap, wiped them dry with a cloth, and then put on new socks. After finishing them one by one, she helped Shen Jin lie down on the bed .
Chu Xiuming called An Ning to come in to clean up. He cleaned his hands in the copper basin at the side, looked at Shen Jin and said, "Don't read too long, I will ask An Ning to bring you a bowl of rice porridge later. sleep, you know?"
Shen Jin wrinkled her nose and said, "I know."
Chu Xiuming waited for An Ning to come back, explained a few more words to An Ning, and then left.
An Ning smiled and took the unfinished needle and thread, sat on the round pier beside Shen Jin's bed, and said, "The general is also afraid that Madam will hurt her eyes if she read too much at night."
Naturally, Shen Jin knew that she hugged her stomach and moved, and changed a comfortable position for herself. Then she took the book beside the pillow, flipped to a place and read it, "I have already told my husband that you and As for Yue Wen's matter, my husband said that he will help you to deal with it within a year at most."
An Ning's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "Even if I get married, I will serve my wife by my side."
Since Chu Xiuming came, An Ning and An Yi no longer called Shen Jin's disguised identity, and Shen Jin didn't force it. After all, these two people were trained by Chu Xiuming, and they were still afraid of Chu Xiuming in their hearts. This is not a bad thing.
Shen Jin pursed her lips and said with a smile, "That can't be done, An Ning will be the official wife by then, how can she still serve me by my side?"
This is true, after Chu Xiuyuan is done, these people who followed him from the beginning will naturally not treat them badly, and Chu Xiuming will not let these people suffer.
